Nice Save, Holly.

It's a universal rule that foul language is forbidden at schools. It's a universal fact that I just can't keep from using foul language. To put it into perspective I believe I was once voted as "The person who swears the most." Now, this isn't exactly the greatest honour in the world but bad language really doesn't bother me as much as it does other people. To me, as long as you're not saying it to diliberately hurt someone and you're not being completely serious, it's not a big deal.

Today I was in my form room and, as usual, I wasn't really paying much attention to anything academic. My form tutor 'Miss S' was discussing something or other and it wasn't until I heard her say, "So remember to fill out that form before the deadline..." that I began to pay attention. Here's what followed:

Me: What? What are you talking about?
Gemma: We have to fill out our Sixth Form applications online before March.
Me: F***!
Miss S: What was that?
Me: Nothing.
Everyone else: [Snigger snigger]
Miss S: Did you just say 'I've failed'?
Me: No... I mean YES.
Everyone else: [Snigger snigger]
Miss S: That doesn't make sense. How have you failed?
Gemma: Nice Save!
Me: HIGH FIVE! HIGH FIVE!
Miss S: Oh, I don't understand...

She then walked off looking confused.

So here's a piece of advice for all of you: The next time you use bad language in front of a member of staff somewhere [or perhaps your parents] just pretend that you said something else. It really IS that simple, sometimes.
